Sandersons Sheffield: Department store company to close Sheffield store at Fox Valley, Stocksbridge

Sandersons, which runs a major shop at the Fox Valley shopping centre, in Stocksbridge, Sheffield, confirmed the news in a statement.

It has occupied a large unit on the popular shopping centre since 2016.

But the company said in a statement: “Following a review of the business, the team at Sandersons Boutique Store have sadly made the difficult decision to close the company’s Fox Valley store.

“Sandersons will be concentrating its business growth from our store in Stroud and the company’s growing online presence. We have seen significant growth in our online business and our unique range of brands will continue to be available at www.sandersonsdeptstore.co.uk.

“The Fox Valley store will close in early March, and in the meantime we have some great deals across all our top brands for you to enjoy, with new stock added each week.

“We would like to thank our amazing team and all of you who have enjoyed and supported us over the last eight years. We have loved being part of the community here, but it’s now the right time for us to step aside and allow other businesses to take over this gateway store.

“We look forward to seeing you in store in the coming weeks.”
